The weirdest obituary I've ever seen

2008/08/24 by

Most obituaries are scanned over briefly unless you, at the very least, vaguely know the deceased. This one caught my eye and goes down in my book as one of the least flattering, dreadfully honest I’ve ever read.

Weird? Yes. Honest? Brutally.

According to Snopes, “Dolores Aguilar’s daughter was moved to place her mother’s obituary after reviewing the obituary of a co-worker’sfather and noting as she read through it how little any of it fit her mother. “What struck me was how my mother was none of the things I was reading. She was never there for us, she was never good and she left no legacy. So how could I say any of the usual things about her?” said the daughter to Bogert. She and her siblings, she maintained, were kept “unfed, poorly clothed and completely terrorized.”

Before agreeing to run the unusual obituary, the Times-Herald took the unusual step of requesting a copy of the death certificate, just to ensure that what it was being asked to publish wasn’t a hoax. It wasn’t: Dolores had passed away on August 7, 2008.”

Parents, you had better behave or instead of tears…your children may just share the last laugh~

Dolores had no hobbies, made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life. I speak for the majority of her family when I say her presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over her passing. Her family will remember Dolores and amongst ourselves we will remember her in our own way, which were mostly sad and troubling times throughout the years. We may have some fond memories of her and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a good and kind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I hope she is finally at peace with herself.

As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a family again. There will be no service, no prayers and no closure for the family she spent a lifetime tearing apart. We cannot come together in the end to see to it that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren can say their goodbyes. So I say here for all of us, GOOD BYE, MOM.
